Just watched this. I don't get the controversy surrounding it.

People couldn't wrap their minds around Jessie Spano being a stripper.

it just wasnt the right time, people were shitting all over verhoeven during that period. it's getting more of its critical acclaim nowadays; apparently its pretty big in France.
there's a reason why verhoeven considers this a perfect movie. i mean it did everything it was trying to do.

I saw it and didn't get the extreme hate for it

Seemed like a perfectly fine flick to me

>>86380941
It's crap

>>86380941
People wanted to see full penetration. They wanted to see Coop go to town on Jessie and Gina Gershon.

It was controversial because:
>It was the first (and only) NC-17 film to get a wide release in mainstream theaters.
>People (mainly the media) were weirded out by Elizabeth Berkeley starring in it right after being in Saved by the Bell.

Anyways, I think it's trashkino. Very comfy, although it's weird to see Agent Cooper playing such a scumbag.

>>86380941
it's genuinely a great, funny movie.

>>86380941
There was no controversy. It was just a bad movie.

It's actually one of the best pleb filters out there.

Really glad to see its stature improve with every passing year. Eventually it'll be seen as a great movie as it deserves to be.

>the controversy surrounding it.
This does not exist. It was a Skinemax meets Aaron Spelling schlock fest so it was an instal-meme thats it.

the controversy is that amerifats hate naked women
